§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection, further to his reply to the hon. Member for Newham, North-West, for what reasons he chose to place in the Library the correspondence between him and the hon. Member on the control and reduction of prices, rather than to publish it in the Official Report.
§ Mr. MaclennanWhile wishing to oblige my hon. Friend in his apparent desire to draw attention to my letter of 24th May, I felt it should be seen in context, but I did not think it appropriate to have such extensive correspondence reproduced in theOfficial Report. I therefore chose to make it available in the Library should any hon. Member, being aware of it from the Written Answer, wish to study it.
